-## Development
+## Branch Naming
+
+> A branch should reflect the story of the commits it contains using a valuable and useful name to clarify its purpose during the development lifecycle and the persistency in the history.
+
+Arctic Ice Studio follows the [gitflow][gitflow] branching model with the deviations and additional conventions described below.
+
+Branches are an important major component for building open source projects regardless of the size. A well maintained branch merge story in the history will help to increase the long-term overall quality.
+
+### Core Branches
+
+The two infinite development lifecycle core branches must be lowercase named `master` and `develop`.
+
+### Story Branches
+
+The lowercase name of a limited development lifecycle story branch must reflect the *type* separated by a slash from the *issue ID* and followed by the short and descriptive *title* using hypen delimiters.
+
+`<TYPE>/<ISSUE_ID>-<TITLE>`
+
+Example: `feature/gh-17-tokenizer-api`

+**Story Type Prefixes**
+
+* `feature`
+* `improvement`
+* `bugfix`
+* `test`
+* `task`
+* `subtask`
+* `release`
+
+Every branch must contain *issue ID* which is important to automatically fire some hooks to track the commit in the related GitHub repository issues and pull requests and is **required to contribute to a project**.
+
+A `release` branch is used to prepare a new [tagged](#tags) release version.
+
+## Tags
+
+Arctic Ice Studio follows the [gitflow][gitflow] branching model with the deviations and additional conventions described below using the [Arctic Versioning Specification][arcver].
+
+All version tags are created in the `master` [core branch](#core-branches) to specify which commits reflects a release version as defined by the `release` [branch name](#branch-naming) prefix.
+
+* **Only use annotated tags**. Allows to include the name of the project followed by the version number to the commit message.
+* **Always add the `v` prefix character to version tags**. Clarifies the tag type as specified by ArcVer.
+* **Every version tag must be signed**. Ensures that the version has been tested and approved by the project owner or an authorized project contributor.
